Windows 11 LAN ethernet "Connecting, action needed' issue

Hello All

Hoping someone can help. We have started looking in to updating our windows 10 fleet to windows 11 22H2 and have run in to an issue. We are finding that each laptop we have tested updates without an issue but when they are connected to the LAN by network cable, rather than automatically connecting to the domain it show a generic network name with the line 'Connecting, Action needed'.

when we click on it we get a 'sign in' button where the user enters their domain username and password after which the network 'name' shows correctly and says Connected, signed in.

We were wondering if anyone else has seen this and if they found a solution.

cheers

On a business network there are a lot more variables. For example, if you're using 802.1x authentication that could cause a sign-in prompt. That is just one example. You probably want to consult your network team assuming there is one.

indeed we do use 802.1x authentication. do you know if there is a fix or work around for this? thanks for the reply

Depends on the desired authentication. If you want to pass through windows creds typically you'll use EAP-PEAP. If it's using certificates then EAP-TLS.

I have checked and looks like we use EAP-PEAP and our win 10 endpoints work fine, it's only our windows 11 test ones that have this issue

have a look at this thread, couple of answers
